The first time I gave them 60 days from the date I expected them to receive it. And actually they mailed it within about 6 weeks. But as I said, I never received it because it was sent via USPS First Class. Since I have a mail slot on my front door, I can only suppose that 1) the post office...

My partner and I fall into all of those categories.

If you are applying under the skilled worker category, you should wait to provide your police clearance certificates. The application process takes a year or more, and since the certificates are only valid for 3 months, you'll have to request them again later.

Not trying to pry, but "personal stuff" is pretty vague. Since you can't go there yourself, can you send a family member or friend that you trust? Can she visit you?

Hi Fred, Congratulations on your wife's improvement. If the embassy's website says processing time is 6 months, you should give them that amount of time. They most likely didn't begin on the application until they received the medicals, because they had no idea when you would submit them...

Thanks PMM I think I'm just gonna shut my mouth from here on. ;) TG

Yes, you can reapply.

You can look for a job while in Canada, but you can't actually apply for the work permit until you return home to the U.K. Also, as a non-resident, you couldn't just go through a local canadian paper and choose any job. Your prospective employer would need to apply for and receive a positive...

It is possible to go to Canada on a temporary visa (TRV) and to look for a job. But you would have to return to your home country to apply for the work permit. It seems the best approach would probably be to get your skilled worker application going, and then look for a job through an...

Go for the biggest cities for tourism, I would imagine. Toronto, Ontario, Vancouver, etc.

Have you made sure you have enough points to immigrate even without finishing your degree? The degree will add a lot of points, and you can't include it on your application until after you've finished it.

Just FYI.. They will send your background check via first class mail unless you provide them with some other mailing method that is prepaid - like an express mail envelop with sufficient postage in stamps enclosed. If you live in an area with poor mail delivery, this might be something to...

Being unemployed on entry, or even when you make your application, will not be a problem if you qualify under the skilled worker category. CIC wants to see that you have 4 years of full time employment within the past 10 years in an occupation that is needed in Canada. So do an online...

Hi Vadim Canadian tax law states that you do not have to report the gain on sale of your house as long as it was your primary residence for every year you owned it. So that is good news for you if you sell it at the same time your family moves to Canada. But it's bad news if you leave it for...

Hi Tiffany, I guess I should start by saying that I'm not sure you'll qualify for conjugal partner sponsorship. Take a look at the CIC website and see what you think: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse-apply-who.asp#conjugal No matter which form of sponsorship you go with...

I used the first one with success.

I know it's difficult to immigrate to the U.S. I'm in the exact position you mentioned, Calvin - I couldn't get my partner to the U.S. But I'm not angry about it. I'm just going to take Canada up on its great offer to allow both of us to immigrate. So no laws are broken. No visas are...

I don't understand this comment.. that people are "out of status here in the US ... with no fault of their own." Did someone in the U.S. prevent them from going home? Did someone twist their arm to stay illegally? If they lose their jobs while on a work visa, they are no longer legal. They...

Not at all.

Yes, any nationality with a U.S. green card. It's a double standard. A U.S. green card holder of any nationality can visit Canada. But a Canadian permanent resident cannot visit the U.S. without qualifying based on their citizenship/visa.
